It’s been almost a year since I wrote one of these posts. Not that the girls haven’t been cracking me right up; I just tend to share all my kid quotes right away on Facebook instead of saving them for the blog. But today is your lucky day! I’ve got a whole slew of them, right here, right now. You are so welcome.

David: …

While listening to a certain Flight of the Conchords song…
Mila: “Why does he want to do something special for all the ladies in the world?”
Me: (stifling a giggle) “Because ladies are awesome!”
Mila: (long thoughtful pause) “I don’t think ladies are awesome.”
Me: “Why not? I’m a lady.”
Mila: “Well…I think Daddy is awesome.”
Me: …

Any time someone knocks on the door…

Her: “If she has a daddy den she can be happy.”

Hearing David and I discussing what a big flirt Margot is:
Me: “She’s already got such a personality…we’re gonna be in so much trouble.”

Running into the living room fresh out of the bathtub:
Her: “Nakie buns power!!!”
Me: *all the laughing*

Trying to plan ahead even though I still hadn’t finished Christmas shopping yet:
Me: “What shall we get Daddy for his birthday?”
Her: “Um…maybe not soggy socks.”
Me: …

Checking on the girlsbecause they were being suspiciously quiet:
Me: “What are you guys up to?”
Her: “Me and Margot are going to see da temple lights to see if dere is any creatures stirring in da darkness.”

This child. She kills me dead. And I don’t know about you, but I’m a leetle bit nervous now about creatures stirring in the darkness. Yikes.
